About Rhino Room
Rhino Room is a live music and stand-up comedy venue on the corner of Pirie and Hyde Streets in the Adelaide CBD. Alongside its gig and comedy nights, it hires out two spaces for exclusive private events. The Rhino Room itself sits on Level 1 and takes up to 200 guests, suiting larger parties. It has a long bar, booth seating and a stage with lighting. Downstairs, Lowlife Bar is the venue's most-booked space for parties, holding up to 130 guests with a licensed outdoor area under the vines. Its layout feels comfortable for a group of 35 to 75 as well as for crowds over 100. Both spaces come with lighting and a sound system that suits live bands and DJs, and a phone playlist works just as well. You can also arrange early access to decorate or theme the room. Food is flexible: the team can recommend a caterer, or you can self-cater or bring your own. Drinks run through a bar tab, which can cover free or subsidised drinks. Room hire is $500, and you then set whatever bar tab you like. A $2,000 bar tab removes room hire altogether, while a $1,250 tab brings it down to $300.
